Hi,
I am using the SWF options to structure the Bookmark display of the Flash Output (very nice).
I am currently using the following settings to create the bookmark display in the Flash Output:
pswfOptions.ExpandedOutlineLevels = 2
'pswfOptions.BookmarksOutlineLevel = 2
pswfOptions.HeadingsOutlineLevels = 6
When I enable the BookmarksOutlineLevel, I get two additional two additional entries in the list for each valid TOC entry … these have a label of _TOC…
Is this normal when the BookmarksOutlineLevels is set to a specific value? Do the HeadingsOutlineLevels and BookmarksOutlineLevel work together?
Regards, Bruce
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for your request. When you create TOC in MS Word, a set of hidden bookmarks is created. So when you click on the item in TOC you can navigate to the appropriate page. When you specify BookmarksOutlineLevel, you see these bookmarks in the document map.
Yes this is normal when you use HeadingsOutlineLevels and BookmarksOutlineLevel if you need both bookmarks and heading to appear in the document map. But I think, in your case, if would be enough to use HeadingsOutlineLevels only.
Best regards,
Hi,
Many thanks … I can now see why bookmarks are related to TOC entries. I have some user generated bookmarks that I use - which I will suppress when going to flash.
If the _TOC* bookmarks are only used for the TOC, do they really need to be added to the bookmark navigation? (can they be supressed?). This way any other bookmarks would actually show up in the bookmark navigation pane.
Just a thought … many thanks for answering the question - I’ll not use the BookmarksOutlineLevel when saving to flash when have a TOC enabled.
Regards, Bruce
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for additional information. I think, you can just remove all bookmarks that starts with “_Toc” from the document before converting the document to SWF. In this case only necessary bookmarks will appear in the document map.
Best regards,
